  1. i LOVE that he did this game after game after game. thanks a ton, weave. you are missed. best wishes.
  2. i'm thinking the only way we could pull it off is to get a third team involved. it'd be interesting to listen to the GM phone calls on all of this.
  3. bro, it's all about the hindustan times.
  4. that reminds me, i need to get some quarters.
  5. welcome to my world. we have cookies waiting for you.
  6. when i think of free speech, i think of the ability to express an opinion without fear of prosecution, which seems germain to what the framers put together. the SCOTUS has helped refine the parameters of this by deciding you can't yell fire! in a crowded theater, etc. I can sit in front of my house with a sign that says "honk if you like trump" and be perfectly protected. if my sign says "honk if you want to assassinate trump", i can expect trouble from someone, maybe a legal issue or two to deal with as well as it could possibly constitute a threat. i'm not really sure how else to say it other than i have the liberty to express any opinion i want, but there can be repercussions depending on what i say or when i say it or who i say it to. is that still freedom of expression?
  7. One thought I had was that Jefferson, Washington, et al were working to break free from an oppressive gov't as opposed to actively promoting slavery and racial oppression. There are plenty of layers to that idea, of course, but it wasn't to promote one race over another like the confederates were actively seeking. its an interesting and complex conversation to have and I'm interested to see what becomes of it.
  8. Wow. Can't believe how much hatred there is and the attempts to justify the car attack.
  9. Heard it said once that we are free to say what we like. However, we are not free from the consequences of what we say.
  10. The older I get, the more true this becomes (though it's not always easy).
  11. i'm right on board with you on this, kevin. i don't like seeing the confederate flag flying over state capitols or incorporated into a state flag. put flags and statues in the appropriate places you've mentioned and i think that's a reasonable solution.
  12. any chance he meant "the only good nazi is a dead nazi"?
  13. you know, your glass doesn't need to be half-empty, buddy. you can always refill it.
  14. every school uniform company is bracing for blowback on this right now.
  15. just having been in maui and having a major hawaiian bug, i'd love to have some tiki torches in my backyard. however, after last weekends events, i'm a little hesitant to go and buy some for fear of association. why couldn't the nazis have used something i don't want, like clippers jerseys on snow shovels? jerks. screw them!
  16. after all the bums we've run out there during the trout era, i'd have to believe he'd be ecstatic that the team is willing to make a commitment to get a guy like stanton. it says "we want to win now and for the foreseeable future." if you're trout, you have to like that kind of move.
  17. he has a beautiful smile. stop judging me.
  18. so you're saying there's a chance! let's run him out there every third day and see what happens.
  19. This makes me feel a little better about my $14 egg salad sandwich and my $22.50 omelette at the Grand Wailea Resort.
  20. cherry tomatoes in the pictures, so you already know this is going to be a winner!
  21. both @Adam and I enjoy the nuances of Steel Magnolias, and we're not ashamed of it.
  22. Had a good week and gained some ground. Should have picked JT this week. He won at Kapalua to start the season and I was there last Sunday. Obviously there was a cosmic connection and I should have run with it. oh well. At least I picked up a few tees and a pencil.
  23. Replace the mayo with Greek yogurt and I would eat that.
